ALEXANDRIAS POSSIBILITIES.

Proposed Incorporation of City and
County Under. one Government.
The Alexandria Hem publishes yesterday
the substance Of an interview recently had
with Colonel +. l.. Smith Of that city rela-
tive to city and county improvements. 1t
Is Colonel Smiths belief that the Memorial
Bridge across the Potomac is already one OF
the things OF the near future. His ideas are
for the city to take within It's juris-
diction the entire county and In
clude them ulder one government,
except that there shall be separate tax as
sessments for the city aud county-a city
tax and a suburban tax. That the city and
county issue bonds sufficient to construct
q grand shell road between Alexandria aud
tho Memorial Bridge; extend the gas mains
the length OF the road and plant shade trees
on each side and have grand boulevard
between the two cities. His idea
is, and 1t Is practical business
city and county would te increased ten fold
In five years. Colonel Smith says the two
cities would be one physically, while Alex.
andria would be separate politically, re-
tanning her rights as a part OF the State,
while she would be part OF the Nations
Capital physically, possessing all Of the ad-
vantaees of both. The Item adds:
"lhere is not "A community In the United
States to- day that could SO we'll afford TO

Nothing IN art, pefhans, has advanced to
higher plane than the manufacture of
ladies' dresses. No lady OF taste no gadays
would appear on our thorougbfares uu-
tdily attired, especially In the III Of her
drets. The French artists are celebrated
for the neatness, style and elegance Of the
female wardrObes. Worth has repu'a
tiop, world renowned, for bis artistic pro-
ductlons. A lady of wealth would not
think OF marrying unless her wedding
trousseau was furnished by him. Our city
Is famous for its celebrated dress artists,
among whom are the parties who.e names
stand at the head Of this article. They are
furnishing our bon ton females with their
French style OF cutting and fitting in
ladies' wardrobe. They may be found at
1905 Pennsy lvania avenue northwest.
II. Walker Tucker,
1923 Pennsylvania avenue northwest, since
1874 has built up lucrative trade in the
various departments OF ladies', gents and
children's boots, shoes and slippers Of
beautiful designs. From his close attention
10 business Mr. Tucker virtually controls
that class OF trade. young man, settled
down In West Washington among older
houses, by his purely business qualifications
he has risen to large and profitable as well
as an envinble position In the boot and shoe
trade, which, as every one knows, Ia not
only legitimate but important In the com
mercial trade OF our city, and the promise
before him will place him high In the esu-
nation OF his section Of the city.
